Kanger SubTank Mini, RBA section problem

[Visivicous]

I've had this tank for a couple of months now, ordered from myvaporstore, and only just decided to try out the included rba section. I followed a guide on youtube, but I have hit a snag. My istick 30W keeps showing no atomizer. After looking through the largest air flow slot, I can see that the rba section is not touching the base pin. Did I receive a defective unit, or did I do something wrong?

Looks like there is a part just sitting in there. Needs screwed in

Looks like it anyhow. Unscrew the rba and look in there. Or a pic of the rba out.

Anyhow on the bottom of the rba there is a plastic sleeve and a screw in type thing with airflowholes. (I dont know what you call it), that screws into the bottom of the rba. From what I can see in this picture, it looks to have fallen out and you can see something/it laying in the air flow control.

it should look like this...



hope this helps..

Everything is screwed down tight, there are no rattles when the base is shaken, nor does anything wiggle or move around. I took the following two pictures to show that there is a length difference between the RBA section and one of the OCC coils.

​

I'm not sure if you can really see it in these pictures, but with the OCC coil installed, there is definitely contact.

So it seems that my subtank is defective. Either the removable pin that sits in the air flow base is too short, or the insulator that the pin sits in is too thick. I'm leaning towards the pin being too short. Found some info on this on another forum, and decided to contact Kanger US directly to see if they would send me a replacement.

Anyone with a Kanger Subtank Mini? Help needed.

Moved from RTA forum to Clearomizer forum...

I saw the same problem on the ni200 occ thread. They said their problem was that on the rba the clearish/whiteish insulator on the rba piece was missing. If you look at the picture you posted with them side by side you'll see on the occ right above the threads below the coil there's an insulator there but on the rba the threading ends at the bottom with no insulator. (This was while looking at post #6)

I had this same issue on my 25mm subtank, and my solution was to make a spacer shim for the rba +pin/Airtube out of one of the occ insulators, and removing the base oring on the rba (like yours is shown)
